Im all for this update. However what i'd dislike is a new area for this. I think the auction house should just be accessible from all bankers like the "collect" option is in rs3 for its ge. Of course the option being now "auction". This would benefit everyone, as there wont be a huge ge area that clears an entire forest were all *Forced* to go to to auction. This also would make the people who'd rather not see the update at all thrown at them. And finally it'll keep inline with **b, as i can make an offer say in the middle of a slayer task, or middle of a quest, instead of HAVING to go to varrock/ whereever location will be. Just my .2cents

Yes I initially thought of just having a button on the interface but I can already imagine the problems that causes such as remote banking with two accounts

Having boards at every bank would totally solve and incorporate my way of thinking!

Though if you limit how many of each item we can buy automatically then piecemealing might not be such a bad idea.

Lets say Steel bars are generally 800 each.

If Im allowed to sit there with my 2b cash stack buying EVERY single steel bar that enters the house and then sell them off in a giant stack for 1k each and allowing piecemealing, how does that not spell disaster?

If trades are forced to be for the amount listed, then realistically Im going to have trouble selling a humongous stack of any item, so i'll need to split it up into more friendly quantities. This makes it a lot harder to sell items in bulk and deters me from sitting there trying to buy out items.

...which has always been my concern with any centralized, single trade channel system like a ge or auction house...market cornering becomes child's play...

...and unless botting is 100% detectable, trade limits will only harm the legit players, while the bot/goldfarmers will simply add more bots to their stable to get around them... 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

Please remove offline trading and add a tax fee for each trades since this system is more convenient than W1, this way people will have the alternative of fast and hassle free trade by paying a bit more or instead going to W1 and pay a bit less (no tax) and still get the item they want by investing more time.
